Publisher's Synopsis

The values of capital, in which we emphasize Consumerism, Individualism, Meritocracy and the Commodification of all things, whether material and/or immaterial, have been established as a corollary of the state, systematized as the pedagogical ethical content of educational institutions, in which we directly and systematically highlight the school, since:

  • It does not teach how to learn to learn;
  • In it, the intellectual autonomy of the subjects of education (students and educators) is not developed, but only minimizes and trains thought.
If the true "citizen" is the one who, in addition to having citizenship rights, is also the one who has the intellectual conditions to be able to critically participate in the paths of the polis, it can be said that, in these societies, where alienation and social exclusion they are day-by-day and ideologically manufactured, democracy is also a tool of dominance of conservative elites through the dictatorship of the majority, given that an insane collectivity inconsequently exercising the right to participate is as nefarious, tyrannical and/or potentially genocidal as any totalitarian regime.
This work, therefore, aims not only to equip the excluded to achieve emancipation or intellectual autonomy, but also, in the same way, to enable the development of paths towards critical awareness and the consequent improvement of the conditions for participation. We hope that it can contribute, in this sense, to the formation of a potentially transforming generation of itself and the reality of the hostile world in which we live.
